I wonder how it’ll work in terms of taxes. Back in the day, funds for projects had to be requested by admins (requests like this were often rejected though).
I guess I’d be interested in knowing more about the economy and where the money sinks will be, what proactive things are in place to limit inflation etc, but that’s not entirely related to the topic at hand here.
So yeah, the degree to which gov will have access to city funds, and how much say it has in how such funds are distributed (potentially even going so far as to impact on public service salaries and all that) would be interesting to know too.
Current aim is to minimize money spawning in the server to a minimum, making at least some money actually circulate in the economy.

As long as it's not going back to when licensing was rolling around masked up with guns playing vigilante, using gov vehicles.
I can assure you that won't happen again, back then PD didn't have as much influence when it comes to business matters as it has now with DSVD, therefore wrong decisions were made in Licensing to compensate for that.

We've been trying to minimize paperwork as much as possible lately, but we were quite limited in SAMP, however, since it's a new start for LSRP - it should work out as we intended now. Minimizing the amount of "paperwork" done on the forums and focusing on the factions presence in-game in way that others could see it.

The issue with LS-RP college RP was that it formed a very small closed roleplay circle which would lose interest in roleplaying it properly and turn into a shitfest. It was ran by us (GOV) back then and we don't currently plan on bringing it back, at least not on launch. I would bring it up for discussion sometime in the future once the server is more settled and there's still sufficient interest in it and with proper preparations done to it.
If someone wants to do that separately, then I'm sure we could offer support to a certain level as long as standards are kept.

I don't think that official status should only be held for illegal and government factions. That continues the stigma of that's all that matters to the server.
'Official' status would grant the entity more control and more tools to manage it in SAMP. It would become kind of pointless if the company/business system adapts the same features (Company bank, paychecks, ranks etc.) and becomes available to everyone.

Looking forward on what '22 will bring me, as 2021 was already a slight recovery after being pushed down a pit in 2020.
Waiting for LS-RP to drop, really curious on what it will bring, as despite me liking LSRP a lot, it needed drastic changes.

I’d like to see the PD be split between armed and unarmed Officers for realism. Pursuits nowadays don’t really happen, so there should also be very heavy moderation on allowing police to chase people. 90% of cops should be unarmed IMO, and there should be a focus away from policing people IC to allow actual powerful organizations like OC to control the city. Any dangerous situations should also be avoided as PD needs to rp fear of losing life.
I don't think that's the case with US Police Forces. What you are describing is some of the European police forces (UK, Norway) where regular officers do not carry firearms. Nor do the communities have huge issues with illegal weapons, armed gangs and car chases rarely happen.
In US shoot-outs and chases in some areas is as normal as going for groceries. I suggest you to check out this youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/PoliceActivity and you'll see how American police work differs from the comparably calm situation in Europe. And when it comes to server - it's something like Detroit.

I fully agree with this. SAN shouldn't get to be automatically official. It's not a government entity.
News Agencies shouldn't become official factions at all, especially with the tools and features companies will be getting in the server. Faction status should be only kept to government entities and illegal roleplayers (Although, many of those could also be facilitated under companies, especially white collar criminal organizations).

All news agencies have to be equal. Therefore having SAN as a faction and the rest forced to build up as companies is unfair.

It would be nice to manage employees if you're the owner, just like if it was a small faction where employees have the ability to use certain management commands ( for the business ).
Afaik people won't be able to own businesses anymore, if you want a business you have to have a registered entity behind it, automatically giving you more tools and control.

Probably something for government to handle: A construction company. Surely you'll handle business registrations and regulation, would be a good opportunity for more civilian roleplay, especially if scripted. Also a good application of a popular topic, which is numerous money sinks to keep people's wallets tame, compared to original LS-RP where people racked up infinite money. The purchaser of the property has to pay construction costs (maybe only if it's a different type of business from the previous owner or something) and your construction workers will head there and work on it for a period of time before the business can even be used in the script. Other responsibilities for them can be implemented as well if this is a scripted system, such as decay around the city like recorded damage of when cars hit signs, light poles, walls, etc. or just over time incidents such as pipe bursts or potholes, I could even script it if needed.
Having a government-owned construction company doesn't really make sense, in almost all cases the government contracts a private owned company instead and may assign an overseeing department. In this case we have the Department of Public Works, which handles day-to-day tasks as repairs, maintenance etc. on it's own with it's own Technicians and has potential to handle various administrative tasks too.
Scripted features are to be expected.

Forensic Pathology Fellow | Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner
Medical Examiner | Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner
Assistant Director | Los Santos Port Authority
*Only for players, who have been in a LEO faction in the past.
Most of the positions accept reinstatements as well, with the exception of those which never existed in SAMP LS-RP.

FiveM was already shut down by Two-Take a while ago however they received a massive amount of criticism from this, flooding their Steam page with negative results & more. In the end, FiveM came back.
Probably some sort of silent agreement

That covid thing, I remember gang people, trolls or not, roleplayed infecting their opposition with covid, and that was bad.
It was like that before any rules surrounding COVID were implemented. It was handled quite well after rules were set.

IC racism wasn't really banned at any point as far as I know, to a certain point of course, as there were people that would express their IRL hate using their character, but in most of the cases that could be easily distinguishable. And it shouldn't be related to specific IRL events. OOC racism is a different thing.
However, various national and other types of issues, as well as relations to IRL events, should be kept out - it's not IRL, it's a completely different universe with an undefined prologue. G. Floyd was an IRL event and even if it was fun, it shouldn't have had an impact on the server timeline. However, if a similar event would've happened in the ls-rp universe and that would've triggered those events, it would've been much cooler.
However, I think LS-RP's approach to COVID was very good, allowing people to roleplay its existence, however, no one was allowed to roleplay having COVID, creating an environment where characters could establish their own protection measures, but avoid trolls which would go around coughing on everyone and doing '/me has corona virus'. Sadly, I hoped to see more precaution measures taken around, like GOV DOH was planning on creating roleplay around testing centers, but it is what it is, it was completely up to individual players.

How will it be planned? How can we maintain a clean play environment
- What do you mean by clean play?
-
How to plan the license types, their value and price & restrictions and level planning.
- I don't think we should get extreme with licenses. I'm sure it would be enough to have like two types of licenses for different types of trucks, maybe base it on axles or max weight/load of the vehicle. And of course dangerous goods transportation license which would allow transportation of gas and other potentially dangerous goods. Guns, maybe?
-
How will the issue be enforced and how will the punishment system work.
- IC? If yes, then the Port Authority would put of certain guidelines and companies operating in the Port would have to create their internal procedures accordingly.
-
How businesses will be able to place their orders online and how port employees will deliver the goods.
- There could be some sort of IC website where orders could be placed. That would be the most simple solution in my opinion.
-
How the payment to the port will be made and through what point in the government it will go.
- The price of the goods would consist of three parts: Price + Shipping (Port) + VAT/Import Tax (Goes to government)

I love your suppliers idea; it's a good way for it to be expanded further. a few people in the real world make a very solid living being a supplier to multiple companies, so it's not far fetched to have a few main suppliers for different items! It'll still make the port useful, just change the end location rather to the business directly it'll go to a wholestock supplier for example.
Businesses would have the option to order everything from "overseas" directly, but that would have to be planned ahead, as that's a cheaper option, but has more lead time.
Instead, if let's say, a business wants to open in 3hrs, but they don't have any supplies as drinks, or food, or whatever consumables they need to operate, they contact one of the local suppliers which keep stock on-site and arrange a delivery asap, however, then they pay price asked by the supplier, which can be quite high.

Yes! This!!!!
Port has unlimited potential and will become a vital part of the economy if we make it as the first point of the IC goods supply chain.
Business order goods as alcohol, tobacco, food in advance and have to plan ahead. Those goods are shipped and arrive at the port where they are processed by the port employees (unloaded and unpacked from shipping containers) and taken by trucks to the businesses. Creates natural lead time.
This would create a new business type - suppliers. They would order and store larger quantities of various goods and sell them to businesses that need goods urgently with a mark-up.
Vehicle dealerships could be opened by players in addition to the server owned ones, which would order and sell cars on-spot without the need to wait.
This could be expanded a lot, both for legal and illegal organizations.
Narcotics could be shipped in containers between goods and the criminal orgazination would have to bribe port people to let it pass. Or threaten them. Or come in and take it by force.
Maybe extend it to fuel supply too? Just make the supply like this:
Cheaper, but not as much quanities - oil field > refinery > gas station.
More expensive, but unlimited - ship > port > gas station.
This has to happen @ImperiumXVII

The obvious reasons being the problem we had with people in the governments licensing section driving around in premiers and armor pretending to be detectives on SAMP. Also, the police department should handle firearm licensing, realistically speaking. They’re the ones that do extensive background checks, revoke violators ig (violators usually caught by cops) and so forth.
This is a new chapter, new people. Mistakes were made in the past and everything will be done to prevent them from repeating.

It was an amazing experience to lead this awesome team that used to create roleplay out of thin air - without any scripts or systems they managed to keep it up. SanSTA was the shit.

There's big plans for parking enforcement, hopefully they'll work out. They will also fill in whenever PD/SD needs a car impounded.
